Kim Noble is an artist with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities) who paints in an entirely unique style for each alter ego. She has about 12 personalities that paint. Both the Telegraph and the Guardian have featured her story and work, but below are some of my personal favorites.
-
- “Patricia” is the current dominant personality.
-
- “Patricia” paints tranquil landscapes.
-
- “Judy” is a teenage personality that is anorexic and paints sad images.

First there was Dark Dining, now we have sightless sightseeing! Sensorial Lisbon is a blindfolded tour through the city of Lisbon by a blind guide (and sighted assistants). According to the website:
Walks on foot in the Alfama Borough in which the participants have their eyes blindfolded and are guided by a blind guide from ACAPO (Association for the Visually Impaired) who shares his sensorial experiences. There are also a Lisbon Walker Guide who sets the historical contextualization of the route, and 4 other elements who help the participants.
The Project has two main goals:
- to provide a sensorial experience which aims to gather new knowledge of the surrounding space through the stimuli of the senses of smell, tact, taste and hearing and absense of vision.
- to bring awareness to the universe of the visually impaired, not as a limitation but instead in a positive and stimulating note in which the blind himself invite us to step into his own world of codes and references.
Sometimes the beauty of a city is so great, you can hardly believe your eyes. I’d love to give my other senses an opportunity to astound me just as much.
